SUWANEE, Ga., Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VTR GlobalCom
S.A. (VTR) today announced it has chosen ARRIS Group, Inc's
(NASDAQ: ARRS) E6000 Converged Edge Router (CER) to grow its
network and offer enhanced high-speed broadband services.
The E6000 CER also enables VTR concurrently to reduce its
operating expenditures with industry-leading rack space, power, and
cooling efficiencies, and a 'wire-once' architecture that reduces
the need for re-cabling in the data center.

demanding more content, at faster speeds and on more connected
devices than ever," said Dale
Bassen, chief technology officer, VTR. "The ARRIS E6000
allows us to meet this growing appetite for content, while
providing our fastest broadband speeds. ARRIS's CCAP platform also
delivers immediate operational savings and the option to scale to
future consumer entertainment desires."
"VTR came to us with two goals: attract and retain customers
with super-fast broadband speeds, and deliver these services using
less rack space and power," said German laryczower, senior vice
president Sales, Caribbean and
Latin America, ARRIS. "VTR
selected our E6000 CER for its ability to achieve both at the same
time. Now, they've joined a growing list of global service
providers that have made the same choice to realize operational
savings today while preparing for the future."
